I just can’t seem to find the time to get them to the post office when it’s open. Plus…… I don’t know if I can get them away from a certain you-know-who.

What are you looking at?

Is anybody else surprised that it’s not Friday yet? It should really be Friday.

Really.

Fatty, but sweet.

Since I wasn’t able to share the cocoa with you, I’ll share this:  Bacony!   Or maybe this?  Brad & Bacon.  Or Beth?

No, despite his genius and deep love of bacon, Lloyd didn’t write that.  You can find out about it here.

One highlight, though, was Turk on Scrubs wanting ‘brinner’ for his anniversary – breakfast for dinner. I’ve never been such a fan of brinner, but since food supplies are short ’round here and I happened to have bacon, that’s what we had. Here it is, told in pictures:

1c flour, 1t baking powder, 1/4t salt, eggs, 1T sugar

Have robot whip egg whites.

1/2t vanilla, 1c milk. 2T melted butter. Wet in dry, mix, fold in whites

Eat

We first learned of the magnificent idea of weaving meat from instructables.com. Whoever came up with this deserves a knighthood. Send us your photo and we’ll add it!

I had a little time this afternoon, so visit our fine Bacon Mat Gallery and tell your friends!

Click here, folks, and don’t be shy!

They cooked quickly (about five minutes) but fell apart on the third flip. Nothing like trying to re-weave hot bacon as it fries. Plus they weren’t as nice and flat as baked bacon. Mission accomplished, though. Next time I might try microwaving, but I’m sure the texture would suffer.

Raw.

Cooked and tragic

I wrote this post before Peggy sent me some fantastic pictures!  Hopefully this week I’ll get the gallery started, but I gotta tell you – Peggy will win all the prizes.

I tried to make individual mats a while back, which I’ll show later, but here is a wonderful, wonderful e-mail from my brother:

We made our very first BACON MAT!!!!!! The BLT’s were delicious, but I shoud’ve cooked the bacon a bit longer and also tried to drain more of the fat off as it cooked. Love you (just because, but also because you’ve taught us something new!)!!

Mark (and Rachel)

So yummy...

Woven bacon… is there nothing it can’t do? I’ve had the best luck when I don’t drain off the fat. Just let it stew in it’s own juices. I lift it up with two big ol’ spatulas. (Not the ones that Lloyd cleans the gutters with, thank you.)

It started off with Tim’s baptism, which was lovely. (I’m sure Uncle Brad will post more about that on www.bradaptation.com , so I’ll leave it at that.) Welcome to God’s family, Tim!

The rest of the day was spent having lunch at Valentino’s, then getting some work done around the house. Deborah and the girls were coming for dinner, and I wasn’t sure what to make. When in doubt…..

Bacon mats.

mmmm..... bacon.....

I can’t take credit for these. I saw them at instructables.com and thought that they looked pretty dang good. Finally all those years of watching my mom weave pie crust tops have paid off. (I can’t make pie.)

The best part is that they make awesome BLT’s. Cut each mat into fourths, and it’s a solid slab of bacon that stays put on your bread!

BMLT

Unfortunately, Macy had to stay at Grandma and Grandpa’s because she was sick. Bethany was a hoot, though. I’ll post her photo with Pfennig tomorrow.
